AN exchange says that Kansas sus-
tanned q greater percentage Of her
sOldiery sacrificed in the war than
any other STate, from those who
were killed or died from wounds or
disease. She enrolled a larger num-
ber of soldiers for the Union cause,
in proportion to her population, than
any other State. A partial compila-
tion il as follows: With a pOpula-
tiOn in 1860 of l0I, ,3O6, she sent 20, l6l
men TO the .union army, or nearly
one for everysfve Of her population.
Her quota was 1881, so she sent
more than 1000 more than she was
required. Illinois came next TO Kan
sas, having sent 10 the war l5.l per
cent. of her population, and Indiana
and Minnesota next, with fraction
of over Il per cent. The Pacific
states sent but few men TO the union
army-California's contribution be-
ing IL per cent. Of her population
and Oregon "a. The border states,
for obvious reasons, also show a
small proportion Of her population
in the army-her percentage being
1916, when that for the whole of New
England was l3 OF, about one in

THE NEXT LEGISLATURE.

1t is little strange that while so
much contention Is going on III respect
to the GovernOrship, so little should be
said by the press of the State concern
ing the Legislature. This is co-o,di-
nate branch of the government, and the
proper and intelligent exercise of it's
functions just as necessary to good gov
eminent and the wise administration of
public affairs as in the executive branch
Our next General Assembly has mo-
mentous work before it. Besides elect
ing five circuit judges and passog laws
for the general welfare of the State,
there will be two {. 5. Senators to
elect, the position of each more honor
able and important, though little
further removed from the every day
walks of the people, than the chef
maglstracy. When such positions were
to be filled during last Legislature, there
was unfortunately much room for Grim
ination and charges of treason and sale.
And it will continue to be so long as
the people, unmindful of the impor-
lance of the trust, persist in sendln 2
Drof1igate and incompetent politicians
TO represent them in the legislative
halls. Democratic voters must awake
to the Importance of the functions as
signed by the constitution to the legis-
lative branch, and send men there on
whom they can rely and trust in every
contingency. Yet it is not enough to
send there an honorable man or one
who is cherished friend his political
opinions shonld be sounded and be such
as you would have dominant. In other
words, the standard of qualification
should be impersonal it should be the
ideas that the man represents, with his
individuality eliminated, except in SO
far as are concerned the cardinal vir-
tues of honor and rectitude of charac-
ter.
This was the wise rule followed in
East Baton Rouge in the last election /;
and while we elected men of character
and intelligence, we also sent men who
fully represented the dominant senti-
ment of the East Baton Rouge Demo-
cracy. That this rule was not followed
in other parishes was apparent from the
fact that Jonas parishes, through their
representatives, in several instance, vo-
ted for Eustis, while the important is
sue was really decided by the haphaz-
ard vote of one or two men, who knew
or cared very little about it.

The Police Jury met in special SEES
sion on last Monday, and upon inquiry
as to the purpose OF the meeting, we
learned that it was called together by
the president for the purpose OF liking
the polling places in obedience to the
Governors instructions" Mr.. Louis
Young informs us that he only got his
notice through the mail on Monday
morning, happening to be in Vile
Plate that morning; and that he nearly
drove his horse to death in getting here.
Mr.. w. G. G ordon living on the AtcIa-
falaya, WAS not present, and unless
moore timely notice was sent him than
to Mr.. Young, it is just possible that
his notice reached him too late. Neither
Mr.. Young nor Maj. Perrodin, who
lives in town, were aware OF the pur-
pose of the meeting until Monday.
The object of calling it was to get
the jury to fall in with McEnery and
implicitly endorse his course in post
poning the judicial election until De-
cember. But it did not work worth a
cent. The Police Jury went square
back on his excellency. Here is the
resolution offered by MI. Dubuisson
and passed by the jury:
Resolved, that there is no occasion
for the Police Jury to fix any polling
"places in this parish, a function that
"the returning officer has had the au-
"thority to exercise since the year 1882"
Thus fifty and appropriately ends the
attempt to make the Police Jury con-
doners and accessories after the fact
of the crime against the rights of the
people of this indical district.
